A Mystery Card.
The academy, in all its infinite wisdom, didn't bother explaining what the card was, what it did, or why anyone should care about it. They simply handed it out and expected everyone to figure it out themselves.
Most scholars probably thought it was some useless consolation prize.
But… Ruvian knew it better.
The moment the card was activated, it would grant its owner a random unique Special Card, one that wasn't included among the academy's standard selection before the exam.
Some of them were downright ridiculous actually.
There was [Card Exchange], which let you swap your Special Card with any scholar in the entire exam, whether they were your teammate or from any squad members. There was [Revival], a card capable of bringing an eliminated squadmate back into the competition.
